Delhi Court Dismisses Domestic Violence Complaint Citing Lack of Evidence
A Delhi court dismissed a woman's domestic violence complaint against her husband and in-laws, ruling that mere allegations are insufficient without evidence of abuse.

The court emphasized the burden of proof lies with the petitioner to demonstrate at least one act of domestic violence under the law. The husband's side denied the allegations, stating the dispute was settled previously.
